Student Emergency Fund Application

Purpose

The mission of the SKYCTC Student Emergency Fund is to offer temporary financial assistance to students in good standing with SKYCTC who need immediate support to continue their academic pursuits. These funds are not intended to be used for routine expenses or as a consistent supplement to a student’s education funding source.  The Student Emergency Fund is funded through the generous support of individuals and corporate donations.

Award

The maximum amount that will be awarded through this program is strictly capped at $300, and no exceptions will be made. If approved, funds are disbursed directly to the vendor listed in the Payee Details section of the application, not to the student.

Students may not receive more than one award in an academic semester, and there is a maximum of two awards available during the student’s enrollment at SKYCTC.  Awards are limited to one application per household per 12-month period.

Please note that submitting a funding request does not guarantee approval. Approval is based on fund availability.
